When a person spends a lot of time in the outdoors, especially in wilderness areas, wildlife will be encountered. If a camera is handy, those encounters will result in some photos. When weeks at a time are spent in those areas researching lakes and trails for guidebooks, the number of pictures taken starts to add up pretty quickly. This book includes photographs of moose, mountain goats, antelope, deer, bison and bear. The photos were taken in the states of Washington, Idaho and Montana, and most were taken at very close range.

The author is a native of northwest Washington, residing in Mount Vernon. Eleven of his twelve previously published books have been regional fishing and hiking guidebooks for lakes in the states of Washington, Idaho and Montana. The twelfth book is a biography of his father, Chuck Moore.

When Ray first entered the publishing industry, authors relied on “vanity presses” to produce their work – many of whom would charge $15,000 or more and leave the author’s garage filled with hundreds of books. Ray, along with coworker Alan Harris, joined forces with Miles Nelson to create Dog Ear Publishing to provide the author community a self-publisher with a heart. The group’s application of new technologies and publishing on demand reduced the cost of publishing a book to a fraction of what it had been for previous generations; authors now have the ability to publish a book in as little as six weeks and print as few as a single copy.
